Cole indicated that he does both the consultations as well <br />as the service appointments. <br />LaValle stated that his concern is that the business will expand to include <br />typical salon services such as hair styling and tanning. LaValle pointed <br />out that the business could be expanded into the downstairs area of Cole's <br />townoffice unit. <br />Fahey indicated that he was not in favor of a hair salon in these townoffice <br />units, and felt that appropriate restrictions should be placed on Cole's <br />business to ensure that it does not expand into a hair salon.
